Think of it like a new The Venture Bros. episode, or a new, good, Stephen King story... It may be a few more years, but eventually you'll get one.
(And unlike Drabblecast, those other two are paid handsomely.)

Whatever it's status I just wanted to drop by and thank Norm and the crew for all the joy and strange pleasure they put out into the world for so long. It really was a great ride, and if it comes back that would be wonderful. And if not, to everything there is a season.

Yeah, my assumption would be that this podcast must now be dead. Particularly for the people who kept donating -- which doesn't include me, don't get me wrong -- it would be nice to get some official word.

I'm a relative newcomer to the podcast, only listening since late last year. Sucks to only catch the tail end of such a great podcast.

I've been quietly expecting/hoping for a return of the drabblecast since it started fizzing out. I think we all admire Norm's new endeavours and so there really isn't any hard feelings. Still, it would've been nice to know that my donation was no longer really doing anything, at least once it became obvious that the changes they made weren't working out. I know they had a shot at transitioning to a new team. If it really returns I'll be renewing my monthly donation.
